A new NIC-10 rusher zoomed into the top three with a 301-yard game last week.

And Sebastian Bracius is making a bid to join Leslie Robinson, who did it in 2003, as the only Jefferson quarterback to ever lead the league in passing, while Tyler Gaines has a chance to have one of Jefferson's greatest receiving seasons. Ricky Ellis is the only Jefferson receiver to ever have 600 yards in a season, with 846 yards in 2003 and 603 yards in 2002. Gaines is currently tied for first in the NIC-10 with 316 yards through five games.
